Don't give up on your dreamsTakako Okamura
After her success as a member of Amin, Takako Okamura also flourished as a singer-songwriter.
She has an exceptionally clear voice and excels at simple vocals that make the most of her tone.
“Yume wo Akiramenaide” is one of her signature songs.
Its range is narrow and there’s not much vibrato, so simply staying on pitch is enough to aim for a high score.
While the scarcity of long tones makes it a bit harder to rack up bonus points with vibrato or falls, the pitch is undeniably easy to follow—so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, and many people sing it while imitating its distinctive choreography.
Thanks to the song’s success, she made her first appearance at the 24th NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen.
Cinderella HoneymoonHiromi Iwasaki
Hiromi Iwasaki’s classic “Cinderella Honeymoon,” frequently used on variety shows and the like, was once treated almost like a comic song, but nowadays it can surely be called a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
The song’s easiest-to-sing point is, above all, the chorus.
While the highest notes appear in the pre-chorus, that high phrase only lasts about three to four seconds, and the chorus itself sits in the mid-to-lower range, making it a song that doesn’t depend on the singer’s vocal range.
Sentimental JourneyIyo Matsumoto
A song sung by a 16-year-old girl, whose pure feelings come through straight and clear.
Released in October 1981, this debut work is a masterpiece of idol pop crafted by hitmakers Reiko Yukawa and Kyohei Tsutsumi.
Chosen as the tie-in track for Lotte’s “Ghana Chocolate” commercial, the song brought Iyo Matsumoto to wide public attention, reaching No.
9 on the Oricon charts and selling 343,000 copies.
Its lyrics, which candidly express the authentic emotions of a teenager, resonate across generations and remain etched in many people’s hearts even today.
Hum it with friends who remember those days at reunions or karaoke, and the nostalgia is sure to come flooding back.
I'm sorry...Mariko Takahashi
Released in 1996 as Mariya Takahashi’s 26th single, this song was chosen as the 15th theme for Nippon TV’s “Tuesday Suspense Theater.” It became a long-running seller thanks to strong support from the show’s target audience of housewives.
Among Takahashi’s singles, it stands as her biggest hit, and the song was performed at the end of 2016—twenty years after its release—on the 67th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen.
Heavenly KissSeiko Matsuda
Seiko Matsuda has many famous songs, but for women in their early 50s, “Heavenly Kiss” may be the one that left the strongest impression.
Among her tracks, this piece is especially characterized by its refreshing melody, yet surprisingly its vocal range isn’t particularly wide.
The English lyrics in the chorus might be a tricky part, but as long as you can pronounce them clearly, it’s quite a singable song.
If you were on Team Seiko back in the day and are now in your 50s, why not give this one a try?
